Eby-Brown is recalling 741 Chicken and Cheese Subs because a customer reported the product was molding before its expiration date.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text only reports a customer complaint about mold and does not mention any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
